in today's new energy era, domestic brands can be said to be the biggest beneficiaries. among them, chery is one of the few domestic car companies that can achieve substantial growth both at home and abroad. it can be said that it has reaped the benefits of the rise of new energy and the export of domestic cars.

according to the latest official data, chery holding group sold 211,879 vehicles in august, a year-on-year increase of 23.7%. from january to august, the cumulative sales of chery group reached 1,508,259 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 41.9%. among them, 787,954 vehicles were sold in the domestic market, a year-on-year increase of 61.57%; 720,305 vehicles were exported overseas, a year-on-year increase of 25.2%. domestic sales and overseas sales accounted for almost half each, which can be said to be truly "flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall."

however, from the sales structure, chery's pace of transformation to new energy is a little slower than that of domestic peers such as byd and geely. from january to august this year, chery's cumulative sales of fuel vehicles were 1,235,412 units, a year-on-year increase of 27.6%; while the cumulative sales of new energy vehicles were only 272,847 units, although the year-on-year growth rate was as high as 187%, but the proportion was only about 22% of fuel vehicles.

therefore, chery's pace of launching new energy products in the past two years can be said to have significantly accelerated. at this year's chengdu auto show, chery brought as many as 12 new cars, four of which are new energy models that are quite interesting. let's take a look at them together.
